SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Got a chance to go back again to Olcott with RJ and DrWiz after our enjoyable Memorial day weekend trip. Trip up was uneventful till we heard a grinding sound from the back left trailer wheel when backing down the rampand RJ saw some steam rising when the wheels went in the water.

We stopped into Slippery Sinker who gave us a report of a nice box of salmon he weighed coming from just west of Wilson the previous day so thats where we headed. Saw the calvary of boats making the run west from the Oak Pro-Am as we left the chute. Saw a couple boats working the water near Wilson and dropped the lines in. A couple Oak ProAM tourney boats shut down as well but observed some pick up after

---

On the LONG troll west we made it to where we could see the pack from Oak still farther west by the bar but we had some decent way points and did a couple big loops back thru them and continued our steady pic. Thanks to Drwiz for the ice cream as he landed the biggest of the day ~15lb on a rigger hit NBK stingray in 170'FOW down 70. It was a rigger spoon bite for us in the morning.

Went back in to check on the growling trailer and made some calls to try to debug. Lucky the motel was just around the block from the launch so the wheel didn't overheat when moving Cruzcontroll to rest for the next outing. Went back out for the late afternoon/evening and had landed our first double with hit on the dipsy greendot spinny Jhammer and 300 copper pulling a copper NBK mag. The PM bite was mostly good rips on the dipsies with the copper taking a nice king too. First time out fishing this year with only one specie caught but I ain't complaining about only spring kings.

Sunday started near our better waypoints near Wilson and since we were able to launch earlier, albeit with the growlin wheel, we made it out before the morning run of tourney boats zooming past on their way west. Bite was slower but still good and we managed to land all our hits Let the lil ones (3) go and boxed 4 decent springers. RJ decided to leave the Cruzcontroll in the harbor to rest as recognition for another job well done while her wheel could get fixed Monday.

Another fun trip to Olcott with the usual suspects. Lets go fishing and hoping they keep eating, growing and heading east.
